I am not suggesting not doing anything. This paid job with basically zero stress can leave you with the energy to do volunteer work on the side.

I work my tail off every day in a physically demanding job. When I get home after another 100 degree day here in LA, in bumper to bumper traffic, I am not very productive at home or in the community.

How about writing that great american novel during those 8 hours? Taking correspondence courses over the internet? A ton of worthwhile things you can do for 8 hours in the cubicle if you have no work to do.

Yes, but the issue is these are just a couple of what must be thousands - tens of thousands of gov't jobs like this- being paid for by the slave labor of those in the private sector who ARE workng their rear ends off!!!

Why can't we do a class action lawsuit for incompetence in office of those running this agency - and then moveonto the next. It just irks the dickens out me to read this - and I want it posted in every newspaper in the country and with every private employer or employee in this country.

IF this situation cannot be ended and thousands of unneeded federal workers removed from do nothing jobs...being paid outrageous salaries and bonuses.....we should not stop putting this information in grocery stores, doctor's offices, etc. until the hue and cry rises up and we DEMAND THESE DO NOTHING JOBS BE ENDED!!!
